For example, middle-class white women in the U.S. did not work outside the home in the 1950s--why?--because it wasn't proper. Women couldn't practice many professions for many years--why?--because it wasn't proper. Women were locked away in attics and sanitoriums (see The Yellow Wallpaper for a fictional account) for displaying feelings, emotions, and actions that weren't considered "proper." Whether the legal jargon says a woman is the property of a man, or that he has total legal responsibility over her, or whether there is strong social convention to do "what is proper"...the end result is the same. The end result is social control. _________________ Cheryl L.

Although the percentages were low (in police reports 1992-93 9.1 % of assaults were committed by student athletes who represent only 3.7% of campus males--in judical affairs office reports in 1991-93 roughly 3% of campus males who were student athletes were the assilants in about 20% of the assaults) the speculation is that training to use physical domination in the sport (contact sports of football and basketball were overrepresented--they make up only 30% of the pool of athletes, but accounted for 67% of the reported assaults by athletes) carries over into relationships. None of this is too surprising, but the point is it provides hard data that special intervention is needed with these groups. The study was done by Crosset and McDonald at U. of Mass.-Amherst and Benedict at Northeastern, but no reference is given for a published report.

Curtis" at Dec 9, 94 00:36:58 am Hello Craig. If you expand your research to BIG feet as well, I'd like to suggest you consider the case of George Orwell. He had enormous feet and prided himself on it--which I make a little fun of in my book on him, The Orwell Mystique: A Study in Male Ideology. I quote Mary Ellman's wonderful line "men's shoes alone seem a promise of truth"! [in her book Thinking About Women, when she's talking about how "the male body lends credence to assertions, while the female takes it away." I never did look for foot imagery in his fiction (his references to his own feet appear elsewhere), but I'd expect to find it. He was a weird duck . . .

If you send the 2-word message INDEX WMST-L to LISTSERV@UMDD.UMD.EDU, you'll receive a copy of the WMST-L FILELIST. It lists many of the WMST-L files that you can retrieve from LISTSERV. Among the files listed is one called SAFE SPACE, which is a compilation of the messages that appeared on WMST-L in the discussion you refer to above. To get that file, send the message GET SAFE SPACE to LISTSERV@UMDD.UMD.EDU. There are two other files you may want to send for; they both tell you how to search the WMST-L logfiles to find messages on particular topics. For example, if I hadn't compiled a file of the "safe space" messages, you could still have found them by sending an appropriately worded message to LISTSERV. These two files tell you how to construct that appropriately worded message. The files are DUMMY GUIDE, written by Jacqueline Hunt, and SEARCH LOGFILES, written by Charles Bailey. You may wish to start with DUMMY GUIDE and then move on to SEARCH LOGFILES. To get these files, send a two-line message to LISTSERV (or add two more lines two the GET SAFE SPACE message) that says: GET DUMMY GUIDE GET SEARCH LOGFILES Be sure to send these messages to LISTSERV, not to WMST-L!

So, for instance, Coleridge and Wordsworth would be taught side by side, as they often are, but emphasizing their "coupledness" in terms of homoeroticism. That approach might make for an interesting lecture or two. It would be one more way to "decenter" traditional literary approaches to the "great [male] writers." Cheers!

Thus, I can't heed Lynne Alice's plea or my own seconding of it. But I nonetheless want to call people's attention to another review of _Professing Feminism_. The December 1994 issue of _The Women's Review of Books_ has a front-page review by Carol Sternhell of _Professing Feminism_, _Who Stole Feminism?_ (Sommers), and _The Feminist Classroom_ (Maher and Tetreault). It's an excellent review, I think (though I can't judge what it says about _The Feminist Classroom_), one worth trying to get hold of, perhaps through interlibrary loan. If you need the exact information, it's vol. XII, No. 3, pages 1, 3-4, and the title of the review is "The proper study of womankind."

Awards are given for both literature (long and short fiction, poetry) and nonfiction, and are given to books of exceptional merit relating to the lesbigay experience. To be eligible, a book must have been published in calendar year 1994. Awards are not limited to works issued by American publishing firms: books published outside the United States are eligible. As most non-English language titles cannot be read and adequately evaluated by all committee members, only titles in English translation are eligible for the awards. The awards have been given since 1971, establishing them the first and oldest gay, lesbian, and bisexual book awards in the U. S. A committee made up of librarians who are members of the ALA Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Task Force decides each year's winners from a list of nominations compiled throughout the year. Any individual or group not affiliated or under contract with the publisher of the book being nominated may submit a nomination to the Chair of the Book Awards Committee. Please send nominations to: Ellen Greenblatt Central Technical Services Lockwood Library Building Box 602200 State University of New York at Buffalo Buffalo, NY 14260-2200 Fax transmissions may be sent to (716) 645-5955.

If changes have been made since the last time a section was posted, the subject header will begin "Revision:". Also, you can now consult the User's Guide anytime you'd like if you have access to gopher. Gopher to gopher.umbc.edu and select Academic Department Info (currently #5), then Women's Studies (currently #9), then WMST-L (currently #5). Meanwhile, here is the section that explains where/how to find past WMST-L messages (it has been slightly revised to include mention of Jacquie Hunt's useful DUMMY GUIDE): 10) "I'VE BEEN AWAY FOR TWO WEEKS. I'D LIKE TO SEE WHAT I'VE MISSED ON WMST-L DURING THE TIME I'VE BEEN GONE. IS IT POSSIBLE TO ACCESS PREVIOUS MESSAGES?" [also useful for new subscribers] Yes. All WMST-L messages are automatically archived. The 1991 archives are arranged in monthly logs; beginning in Jan., 1992, the logs were changed to a weekly format. To find out what logs are available, you can send LISTSERV the following command: INDEX WMST-L . You'll then receive a list of the available logs. To obtain the logs, send LISTSERV the following command: GET WMST-L [filename] where [filename] is the name of the log file you want. For example: GET WMST-L LOG9309a will get you the log for the first week ("a") in September 1993 (9309 refers to the 9th month of 1993). LOG9312b is the log for the second week ("b") in Dec. 1993 (December is the 12th month). (It's possible that the wording of your request may take a slightly different form, depending on your mail system, but what you want is WMST-L LOGnnnnl.) Warning: some of these logs are LARGE; log9309a is approximately 300K. As a result, you may not be permitted to get more than a few logs on any given day (the current limit is 20 files or 2M - i.e., 2000K). NOTE: The 1991 logfiles are no longer available on UMDD. To make room for newer logfiles, they were moved to the Women's Studies archive on InforM (gopher to inform.umd.edu). As time passes, other old logfiles will also be moved to InforM. The WMST-L filelist contains two sets of instructions designed to teach you how to search the UMDD logfiles for specific subjects. One, intended for absolute beginners, is called DUMMY GUIDE; the other, also very clear and more detailed, is entitled SEARCH LOGFILES. To get both, send a two-line message to LISTSERV@UMDD.UMD.EDU that says GET DUMMY GUIDE on line 1 and GET SEARCH LOGFILES on line 2. These instructions do not apply to the logfiles on InforM. ******************* Joan Korenman Internet: korenman@umbc2.umbc.edu Bitnet: korenman@umbc ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 11 Dec 1994 08:55:34 -0800 Reply-To: Women's Studies List Sender: Women's Studies List From: "R.

I want to make an IMMEDIATE response to the message about rumors that NWSA's 1995 conference is moving from Laramie WYO, to try to reduce as much as possible the waste of precious feminist energy on worry, rumor and gossip. We have so many CRUCIAL demands on our resources, especially after the November elections! Yes, it is TRUE that NWSA is exploring alternative sites for our June '95 conference. Among the sites being considered are the Univ. of Oklahoma and San Diego State Univ in California. NWSA is fully aware of, and deeply concerned about, the implications of holding the conference in California after the passage of Prop.187. NWSA will not make a politically naive or insensitive decision. We have NOT YET made a final decision about the new site. We will notify people as soon as we have something to report. Readers of WMST-L will be among the first to know, since we will post message(s) to this list (and to other lists). I wish I could give a simple answer about why we are forced to move. Both NWSA and the Women's Studies Faculty at the University of Wyoming have invested many resources in planning to have the conference in Laramie. Different people have experienced the "problems" in different ways. Ultima- tely, both the committee in Laramie, and NWSA's conference leadership, think that moving is better than staying. I have been personally involved in many of the events that have led us to this point. My PERSONAL experience of the difficulties emphasizes the great disparity between our goals: having an annual conference that is large, high-quality, sensitive to diversity, interdisciplinary, fun and exciting -- and our resources: no paid conference staff and a very small budget. Our budget is small because we are committed to keeping conference costs as low as possible to make it as accessible as possible; and we are still recovering from the financial difficulties of 1992. This year's conference, like the last two, will be organized TOTALLY BY UNPAID VOLUNTEERS who are working to reduce costs in every way possible. A common character flaw in NWSA (maybe it's also the reason we still exist!) is an optimism that we really can do the many things we think are necessary to promote and support women's studies. Sometimes we come up hard against realities when we realize that our resources won't stretch as far as we had hoped. Moving the conference means that NWSA needs support now as much as ever. Please let me (or any other officer) know if there's something you'd like to do--or if there's something specific you'd like to know. If you haven't joined yet for 1995 (or 1994!), please do so. A larger membership will mean more resources for the work we need to do--and when you join, you get a voice in how and what we do, through elections and membership meetings. Please feel free to contact me any time with questions, opinions, rumors, whatever. My e-mail is: coyner@ksuvm.ksu.edu. The NWSA Governing Council will hold its mid-year meeting Jan.13-15. I'll be glad to take your concerns and suggestions to the meeting.

As an ex-NCAA athlete and rugby player, though, I do feel a bit defensive about attributing this statistical correlation to "training in physical domination." At least we should consider an atmosphere condusive to violence against women the product of media influence, misguided coaching and the fanatical expectations of boosters and fans, rather than endemic to the sports themselves. Women basketball players are taught the same skills as male basketball players (check out a Purdue BBall game if you doubt that women are as physical as the men), but I would hesitate to say that this training is teaching young women to be violent and aggressive in their social relations. I think we should consider a few other explanations for the correlation, including: 1. the use of steroids, which increase aggressivity, 2. the "star' status of male football and basketball players, which may lead them to believe that they are sexually attractive to any woman at any time (is there a higher incidence of sexual assault committed by wrestlers, who aren't generally considered "big men on campus"?) 3. the privilege often accorded male athletes in high profile sports on big campuses (recruiting, special dorms, special dinners, media attention, special tutors, etc.), which may lead them to believe that they can have anything they want whenever they want it. I just want to complicate matters a bit, because in addition to teaching young athletes to be physically aggressive, sports also teach them how to cooperate with others who may hail from vastly different socioeconomic and racial or ethnic backrounds, how to coordinate their personal goals with the goals of the group, how to react positively to setbacks, how to depend on others & how to be dependable for others. I don't know of many other places in the academy where the latter skills are really taught or even valued. I do think the NCAA needs to reform its ways, though. We should think about what it means for big Division I universities to treat their high profile athletes (many of whom are African American) as commodities that draw prestige and revenue to the school. Who is served by such commodification? What kind of an education do these students receive?

Perhaps it would give a more complex picture of the relationship between male athletes and sexual assault. It does seem a shame to blame it on sport itself rather than the culture of masculinity of some male sports.

As the comparison, she uses a number of customs and social conditions of the US past that were undeniably restrictive of women, but perceived by the actors at the time as matters of social propriety. There is a sense in which *all* custom is restrictive -- and not just of women. But the point is, how, specifically, are women being controlled through clitoridectomy? The usual Euro-American interpretation is that they are being kept faithful to unloving husbands by denial of their sexual pleasure. However, it is demonstrable that in many of the societies that practice clitoridectomy there is significant female choice of extra-marital sexual partners -- more in many cases than in societies without any such practice. What, exactly, are we talking about here? Note that I never said that there are not harmful results of clitoridectomy. I still maintain that, although in several East African societies I am familiar with, women are considered inferior and in need of male control in certain ways, that is not the ideology that motivates clitoridectomy. In some other societies that practice it, it is arguable that women's status was better than in European societies any time prior to the 20th century. If clitoridectomy is the result of unconscious hostility to women, what about circumcision of males? I'm arguing for the need to understand clitoridectomy in context, and follow the lead of African women in action to change this custom. Richley Crapo's post on the difference between cultural and ethicla relativism was an excellent statement. -- Gina (roboler@acad.ursinus.edu) ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 12 Dec 1994 08:50:28 -0500 Reply-To: korenman@UMBC2.UMBC.EDU Sender: Women's Studies List From: Joan Korenman Subject: Clitoridectomy, Sexual Assault, & WMST-L's Focus Though both the "clitoridectomy" and "athletes and sexual assault" discussions began as research queries, they're now moving away from research and, thus, away from WMST-L's focus on teaching, research, and program administration. WMST-L is NOT a list for general discussion of gender-related societal issues, even though those issues are of central importance to Women's Studies. The list has a continual problem with heavy mail volume; were the volume to increase (by broadening the list's focus), many people with limited disk space, limited time, and/or limited funds would be forced to unsubscribe. I am determined that that not happen. Please do not send messages about societal problems, male/female relations, politics, etc. to WMST-L. Other lists already exists for discussion of gender-related societal issues and the like. If you wish to discuss international problems like clitoridectomy, subscribe to FEMISA, a list for feminism and international relations (send message SUBSCRIBE FEMISA Your Name to LISTSERV@CSF.COLORADO.EDU). For the entire range of women's issues, try WOMEN (send message SUBSCRIBE WOMEN to MAJORDOMO@WORLD.STD.COM). If WMST-L's narrow focus no longer meets your needs, you can unsubscribe by sending the message SIGNOFF WMST-L (or UNSUB WMST-L) to LISTSERV@UMDD.UMD.EDU (or, if you subscribed via Bitnet, to LISTSERV@UMDD).

While a clitoridectomy deprives a woman of the ability to experience orgasm either through masturbation or sexual contact with a partner (because the clitoris is removed) a circumcision does not deprive a man of the same. Removing the whole head of the penis would be analogous to a clitoridectomy. ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 13 Dec 1994 14:49:56 MAL Reply-To: Women's Studies List Sender: Women's Studies List From: Mariyamni Awang Organization: Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur Subject: Essay topic(s A few women's organisations here are organising the International Women's Day celebrations for 1995 and an essay competition is one of the activities planned. The competition is for schoolchildren from the age of 11 to 17, male and female. The aim is to get the kids to talk to a woman they know whom they think is special. The problem is how to 'lead' them to think that special is not just 'cooking, cleaning, etc. ', not that these are activities to be sniffed at, but all aspects of the woman's capabilities should be considered. The topic started with ' A special woman I know', it implied that she was compared to other women only. The second was 'A special person in my community and she's a woman, this might encourage them to write about women that they might read in their history classes or newspapers, and the latest is ' A special person I know and she's a woman' which might result in any form of being special, at least to a kid or a teenager. And so I would truly appreciate suggestions on how to reduce the scope, perhaps a totally new topic or perhaps topics for different age groups...; since the ads will be out in a week or so, it's ASAP to me if you wish to make any suggestion.

Meanwhile, here is the section that describes the list's policy regarding job listings and other announcements: ******************* 12) "MY UNIVERSITY HAS A JOB OPENING. MAY I POST AN ANNOUNCEMENT ON WMST-L?" WMST-L welcomes the posting of job and conference announcements, calls for papers, and the like, as long as the announcement has some connection to Women's Studies. Announcements without such a connection should NOT be sent to WMST-L. The wish to reach more female candidates, however laudable, is NOT adequate reason to post non-Women's-Studies announcements. Heavy mail volume is a persistent problem on WMST-L; the list cannot accommodate the increased volume that a more liberal posting policy would bring. (Keep in mind that each year, there are literally thousands of academic job openings. Most institutions wish to show that they have tried to reach female and minority applicants. Whereas some commercial publications charge hundreds of dollars to carry even a small ad, WMST-L is free. Thus, unless we restrict postings, the list is likely to be INUNDATED with job announcements.) ************************ Joan Korenman Internet: korenman@umbc2.umbc.edu Bitnet: korenman@umbc ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 13 Dec 1994 09:53:24 -0600 Reply-To: Women's Studies List Sender: Women's Studies List From: greta gaard Subject: Gay Sports List This message was forwarded to me, and I pass it on in case anyone else is interested.

THE FOLLOWING IS FROM THE LOCAL ARRANGEMENTS COMMITTEE: As you will see from the preceding call for papers and poetry, the Spring 1995 Conference of the Midwest Society for Women in Philosophy will be sponsored by the University of Kentucky and held in Lexington, KY, April 7-9, 1995. The information in this post has been sent to everyone on the SWIP mailing list. There will be one additional mailing prior to the conference, which will include the program, directions, and relevant additional information. We plan on an opening session on Friday evening, April 7, on the University of Kentucky campus. The remainder of the meeting will be in the conference facilities at the Radisson Plaza Hotel in downtown Lexington, 369 West Vine Street. The Radisson has offered us rooms for up to four people at $75.00 (plus tax) per night, making it possible for meeting participants to stay at the main meeting site. Free parking will be provided at the Radisson for those staying at the hotel. For those arriving by air, the Radisson will provide free shuttle service between the Radisson and the airport. A block of rooms has been reserved for us at the conference rate. Since Keeneland Racecourse will be in session, prices in Lexington will be inflated, and rooms are likely to be hard to find. In order to take advantage of the conference rate at the Radisson, reservations will need to be made with the Radisson by March 1. To make a reservation, please call the Radisson directly at 1-800-333-3333.

Since the hotel will be providing a continental breakfast for conference participants on Saturday and Sunday, as well as refreshments for mid-morning breaks on Saturday and Sunday and for a mid-afternoon break on Saturday, it is important that we have a fairly clear idea of how many we will be on those days.

If you would like to do a presentation for the Women of Color Caucus or would like further information, please contact Maria Lugones, LACAS, Binghampton University, P.O. Box 6000, Binghampton, NY 13902-6000. If you would like to do a presentation for the general program, at the Spring 1995 Midwest SWIP conference, please see the general call for papers posted on the WMST-L on 12/13/94. HISTORY OF THE CAUCUS: Several years ago, the women of color at Midwest SWIP created a space to theorize together as we kept our attention on each other. We keep each other in mind as we discuss, think, write, We began with a very wide conception of "theory." this wide conception enabled us to notice that we were reconceiving the process of theorizing, that we theorized differently (for example, many of us pay a lot of attention to particularity, detail, without any need to generalize; or for some of us, generalizing is different from abstracting). We talked about our histories, about identity, about relations among women of color, about colonization. Our very wide conception of our task is accompanied by a very wide conception of who counts as a philosopher. From the beginning we decided to include all women of color who want to think and discuss with other women of color whether they are professional philosophers, academicians, community members, poets , activists, and so on. We use the vocabulary and mode of expression that suits us best: conversation, poetry, story telling, letter writing, dense or light prose, video, and so on. TRAVEL GRANTS: Midwest SWIP meets twice a year and subsidizes travel to meetings (up to $50.00) for members who are students, unemployed, or underemployed. Dues are modest and on a sliding scale. You do not need to be a SWIP member to participate in the Women of Color Caucus or to request a travel grant. Requests for travel grants should be directed to : Amber Katherine, P.O.
